Re: Read Email Attachments

You can use ~~either MIME::Lite or~~ MIME::Parser to retrieve email attachments. In fact, a program doing just that has already been written and posted to PerlMonks some time ago.

Here's the node:

MIME Attachment Extractor

You may refer at the code for some concrete examples on how to implement the mentioned modules in your particular program in order for you to be able to extract your email attachments.

Cheers.

UPDATE: thanks Joost, I shouldn't have mentioned MIME::Lite. However, MIME::Parse may still do a perfect job ;-)
